ISLAMABAD: Adviser to the PM on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz has said that Pakistan and India needed to work together to defeat terrorism.

In a statement on Sunday, he expressed serious concern over a statement of Indian Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar that India would use terrorism to counter terrorism emanating from other countries.

The adviser said that Pakistan sincerely pursued a policy of good neighbourly relations with India. “Terrorism is our common enemy and it is vital for both the countries to work together to defeat this menace,” he added.
